Summer in Sun Valley
One of our favorite ski destinations is Sun Valley Idaho. It is such a beautiful, family friendly town that is so easy to get around. Every time we talk to a Sun Valley frequenter they say “you HAVE to go in the summer!”
This year we took them up on that advice and we are already planning next year’s winter and summer trip.
Sun Valley Lodge is a beautiful resort with all the amenities. There’s easy and free transportation anywhere in town. The hotel has a heated pool, spa, gym, bowling alley and a year round outdoor ice skating rink. It checks all the boxes.
Things to do around Sun Valley
Ketchum has so much to offer. A great downtown with paved bike trails that will take you anywhere you want to go including The neighboring town Hailey which has great lunch spots if you’re up for the longer ride.
You can take the gondola to the top of bald mountain and hike around the top before grabbing lunch at Roundhouse to take in the amazing views of the town. If you are really feeling adventurous you can hike all the way up.
Restaurants
Roundhouse is a spot you have to checkout any time of year to take in the view. The Pioneer Saloon is a local favorite. They don’t take reservations so get there early or be prepared to wait.
The Grill at Knob Hill has the most beautiful outdoor area. We sat on the grass surrounded by flowers and trees. The menu and service was amazing. Definitely make a reservation and plan ahead. They fill up quickly. Something fun is the restaurant is located next to the Ketchum Cemetery where you will find Ernest Hemmingway’s grave site.
